1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Inherent conductivity and high redox activity endow polyaniline (PANI) with great potential to serve as a cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, compared with traditional strongly acidic electrolytes (pH < 1), its electrochemical performances are moderated in weakly acidic zinc salt electrolytes (pH > 3) because of spontaneous deprotonation. Herein, a carboxyl-modified PANI was designed and synthesized by introducing carboxyl groups at the para-position of the terminal benzene rings within the polymer chains. In this conjugated system, the electron density in the polymer chains was redistributed with a higher one around the substituent due to the electron-withdrawing effect of carboxyl groups and meanwhile carboxyl groups characterized by a proton donor render PANI achieve a proton-involved electrochemical reaction. Consequently, the carboxyl-modified PANI cathode, in a Zn//PANI cell, delivers an impressive specific capacity of 226 mAh g
